Forecast Discussion

Space Launch Delta 45

After a rainy day on the Space Coast today, conditions will improve significantly overnight into tomorrow. An upper-level shortwave will push off to the east, allowing high pressure and much drier air to settle in. High pressure will remain in control for the first half of the week. The only concern for both the primary and backup days is the negligible chance of a Cumulus Cloud Rule violation.
